As is well known Dirty Frank is about a tour bus driver for Pearl Jam, in this performance from New Years eve 1992 Eddie mentions Frank was from Staten Island. I think it's awesome Eddie even knows about Staten Island, makes me like the song that much more.

There's a "Vedder Ave" off of Richmond avenue on Staten Island.

    I saw someone last year driving an SUV on the West Shore Expressway with a huge Pearl Jam decal in the back window.
